A Constitutional Convention.

Especial despatch to the BALTIC. SUM-
RICHMOND. VA, March 20.-In
the House of Delegates Yesterday
Mr.. Hogc, Democrat, Of Pulaski,
introduced a resolution accOmpa-
MED by lengthy preamble. 1t re-
lated to the state debt, and the res
olutlOn provided for the appoint
ment of committee of ten on the
part of the House, and seven on the
part of the Senate, to prepare bill
at as early a day as possible, the
effect Of which shall be to call a
constitutional convention for the
purpose of amending the constitu-
ton of Virginia in such "a particu-
lar as will bar and prohibit all fu-
ture Legislatures from making APP
preparations or provision for the
payment of the principal of said
debt, or any part thereof which
shall not have been funded under
the provision of the Riddleberger
bill within six months from the pas
sage of this act; and the commit
tee shall be required to draft a bill,
or bills, that will render Intellectual,
if possible, the payment of taxes in
coupons. The patron of the bill
hoped to get the sentiment of the
House upon this question, but IN
this lie failed, as the resolution and
preamble were laid upon the table
without a recorded vote being
taken. Mr.. IIoge, however, gave
nouce that he would call up the
subject again next Tuesday.

IL is far from certain that an ex-
ira session of the 50th Congress
will not have to be called early in
the fall. The impression grows at
Washington that this will be nee
essary. The appropriations for the
next financial year aggregate about
S26O,O0O,0O0; the receipts are
safely estimated 1856, 900, OOO.-
That is, after the goth of June
the Treasury will be boarding
coin and currency at the
rate of sS,OOO,OOO a month, with
drawing it from circulation and
thus disturbing the course of bust
ness. By the LIST OF October there
will be about $25.OOO,OOO thus
boarded, with the certainty of an
indefinite continuance of the press
until the whole circulation of the
country has been absorbed, or Con-
gress has come to the help of the
business world.

GOV. LEES MESSAGE.
From the BALTIMORE Sun. I


Gov. Lees message to the Legis.
lature Of Virginia Yesterday dwelt
chiefly on the question of the pub.
lie debt, with respect to the settle.
ment of which he offers some sug-
gestlOns. Hc recommends partlc.
ulary the appointment of a commls-
sion to meet representatives of the
holders of Virginia bonds, and to
inform them in regard TO the re-
sources Of the State. The recent
decision OF the Supreme Court on
the drummeTs tax creates a new
situation, and it is suggested by
the Governor that a law be passed
to meet its requirements. Immedi.
ate action upon the report present
ed by the revisers of the code is al
so recommended. The annual reve-
nues Of the State for some years 10
cone, the Governor thinks, Will not
exceed S2,7OO,00O, and if outstand-
ing obligations should be funded
into bonds under the Riddleberger
act. the interest to be paid, added
TO the necessary annual eXpendi-
lures, would about absorb that
sum. Any other settlement, rec.
ognizing greater amount of prln.
ciple and interest, is, therefore, i'm
practicable. The States expenses
for schools, lunatlc asylums, and
other necessary objects are con-
stantly increasing. 1t is impossi-
BILE to reduce them without neglect
ing the first duties Of the State,
and it is idle to propose a higher
tax rate. The Governor alludes in
feeling terms to the invasion of the
States sovereignty by the Supreme
Court, in disregard of the eleventh
amendment to the constitution of
the United States, but sugges is
that it will be futile to attempt to
evade the courts decision "by en-
grating a multiplying provision up
on the constitution of the State"
The prohibition Of laws impairlng
the obligation of a contract-upon
which the court lays special EN-.
phasis- "s upon the State,' says
Gov. Lee, "without regard to the
form its laws may take or the
agencies which enact them" In
view of these considerations, he
recommends a modification Of ex-
listing laws that authorize levying
for taxes for which coupons have
been rendered. The conclusion
may be drawn from the Governors
message, as a whole, that, in his
opinion, the States best hope Of a
final settlement of its debt lies in
convincing its creditors that it Is.
unable to pay more than the
amount provided for in the Riddle
berger act.

THE RAGING MISSOURI.

ST. PAUL, MINI, March 21.-A
Bismarck special to the Pioneer
Press says: The river is still ris.
ing an inch an hour, having passed
the high-water mark of the mem
orable foot Of 1881. All the low
lands are now inundated. The
only houses flooded on the Bis
marck side are a few squatters'
shacks. From the bluffs one can
see huge cakes Of ice up near the
steets in Mandan. The only meth.
cd Of communication between the
towns is via Cheyenne and Ogden.
The Boston syndicate property, in.
Guiding a Touring mill and some
fifty residences, elevator, shops and
everything south of the track, is sub.
merged. The Upper Heart river
has not yet broken. The loose ice
began running again this evening.
The indications are that the Fort
Buford rise is beginning to be felt.
All boats are still safe, as is the
Northern Pacific warehouse, the
river being so wide that the ice no
longer crowds them. kilograms
from the western division OF the
Northern Pacific say that trains are
running through to Mandan from
Portland, no other bridges being
out.

ed district defy description. Ice
cakes a hundred feet square we're
thrown in the air several feet when.
ever they struck an obstacle. The
force of the current snapped cables
holding the warehouse to the bank
as though they were cotton threads.
The warehouse, over 600 feet long,
was moved some distance and
landed high and dry. IT the Mis-
souri, should now freeze up and the
Yellowstone break away and pour
its ice against the ice in the Mis-
souri,, the result at Mandan would
be terrible. 1t seems strange, said
the Judge, to have Mandan in full
view only five miles away, yet less
accessible TO communication than
London.
Several tons Of western mail have
been brought back from Bismarck.
to be sent around via the Union

THE EXTRA LEGISLATURE.

Partnership is the curse OF this
country. Mistakes are common to
all mankind. There is now no time
to quarrel-one party with the other
about the state debt.
Inourhumblej judgment Governor
Lee did right in calling the present
extra session of the general assem-
bly,.
Governor Lee recognized facts
which made it his imperative duty
to do just what he did. He knew
that the Riddleberger bill had been
declared constitutional by eight to
one of the Supreme Court of the U.
s. He knew that the act OF March,
1856, passed by a Democratic legis-
lature, had been declared unconsti-
tutional. He knew what Ills were
20 come unless something were
done, and quickly done, and he
convened the legislature to do it,
IL was hard to admit the wrong
but Lee did it, and confessed the
errors Of his party associates by re-
converting them to right the wrong
which they had committed. Said
the greatest of philosophers, the
hardest task on earth is to say al
was mistaken To be equal to this
is TO be a man fit to be governor Of
Virginia.
1t is not our purpose now to dis
cuss the debt question. The act of
March 1G, 1856, was theirs. By
this act they carried the whole debt
question back into the courts. The
layman, without the opinion Of the
lawyer, knew this act was uncon-
stitutional. Bondholders jumped
at 1t. 1t was but a repetition Of
the farce OF 1912, and '72J73.-
They but smiled as did Pagan when
little Oliver brought in the hand
kerchiefs.
Lee did right in converting the
legislature.
IL remains for the legislature to
do what they we're called together
20 do.
There are capable men in that
legislature. From them we wait to
hear.

The Tariff In Congress.

This question will not down. The
country has been aroused to the
consideration of 1t TO an extent
meyer before known. We will re.
member the great distress brought
upon the country after tina close OF
the war in 1916, by the emptying
of the British warehouses and work
shops of their fabrics upon our
shores, when We had little or no
tariff protection. They swept of
nearly all our infant establishments,
and bankruptcy and ruin reigned
over the land. I'm 1919 a good tariff
bill was enacted and an improve
ment began to dawn and reasonably
blessed the land during the period
reaching from that date until 1874
when the tariff was again reduced
under Van Buren's administration.
The next election that adminIstra.
ton was defeated and a protective
tariff again introduced with various
changes until 1860, whel the war
took place. Now it is admitted on
all hands that our government is
drawing from the people an exces-
sive revenue. There seem to be
wide differences in opinion as TO
what class of duties or taxes should
be reduced or abolished. The abO.
lition of the tax on raw sugar will
be the most satisfactory method of
reducing the revenues. The United
States produce only about eight
per cent. Of the sugar We consume,
hence, in order TO encourage the
home production Of sugar, let the
government pay bounty on every
pound of cane, beet or sorghum
sugar produced in the United
States. Germany, France and Rus.
STA have so managed this system of
bOnnties on home.prOduced sugar,
that the product of the beet even
rivals that Of the cane. For many
years we shall need TO buy the bulk
of our sugar abroad, and, as it is
an article of universal consumption,
reduction in cost would be a boon
to every individual alike.
Whatever may be done, it is now
we'll understood that no material
change IN the protective principal
can be accomplished.

THE FREEZE DOWN SOUTH.

The Charleston Is. O. News and
Courier says: "The cold wave
which put in an appearance here
early last week eliminated Satur.
day morning in a freeze which has
perhaps wiped ont over 100000 OF
value on the truck farms Of Char
lesion. The mercury at six o'clock
indicated in sheltered places in the
city 3G degrees, and in exposed
places in the suburbs reached freez-
ing point. There can, therefore,
be no further dOnbt of the fact that
a staggering blow has been inhict-
ed upon the growing fruit and veg
etable crops. What promised to
NE a most successful and remunera.
tive crop has been so injured and
delayed that the Charleston truck
farmer who, ten days ago, was
counting up his prospective profits,
is now trying to figure out the
chances OF his getting out ayen.'
The Savannah (Ga.) News of Sat.
urday says: "Nearly the entire
bean, cucumber, potato, and toma
to crop is believed to have been
killed, except in a few localities
West of the city the freeze was not
so severe as it was in other direc.
tons, and some of the farms near
the river escaped. The pea crop
is also badly hurt. The bean and
potato crops, however, have suffer
ed the most. The fruit and berry
crop is also injured. The straw.
berry vines have, it is believed, es.
capped damage, but the fruit where
not protected, has been injured
Even where it was not touched by
the frost the maturing Of the Der.
ries will be delayed. Inquiry Fri.
day failed to discover the extent Of
the damage. Growers say it can.
not be estimated until a day or two.
Most Of them said that the pros.

were about ready for shipping, and
in fact several shipments have
